Hosted by the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) and United Nations Foundation, this event will highlight the economic benefits of investing in non-communicable disease (NCD) prevention and care, demonstrating how such investments drive productivity, GDP growth, and fiscal sustainability. With NCDs causing over 43 million deaths annually and generating substantial economic losses, speakers will showcase cost-effective strategies that have successfully reduced the burden of NCDs while yielding significant healthcare savings. Additionally, the event will foster strategic partnerships and promote collaboration ahead of the Fourth UN High-Level Meeting on NCDs and Mental Health.
